 My first attempt at HDR. There are seven exposures in this one. I decided to go with sepia to help give it an old feeling.

Special thanks to the guys at Pukemiro Bush Tramway Club for allowing me to roam around and take photographs while the place was closed to the public.

Post Challenge: Thanks everyone that voted and/or left comments. I tryed something completely new to me here. On my screen this is quite dark but when I checked my score earlier in the week on another computer, I couldn't believe how different it looked. A good arguement for getting my screen calibrated.

Here is the non sepia version

Your choice to convert to sepia really helped this shot vis-a-vis the challenge. Both are good - the sepia version really fits better, though.

I'd like to see more contrast.

Looks like old poster in the museum.

I like the bold sepia effect not so much to create a vintage photo feel (which I think it is too bright for that) but because it gives the image a surreal effect.

This photo strikes me as radioactive. I think less bright colors in the duotone would have been good.

sepia is good choice, but contrast it a bit more to bring out the darker tonal range and set this old piece of train equip off
